Triumphs and wonders of the 19th century, the true mirror of a phenomenal era, a volume of original, entertaining and instructive historic and descriptive writings, showing the many and marvellous achievements which distinguish an hundred years of material, intellectual, social and moral progress .. . a and Madrid are the great centres of journalistic literature. Thepolitical papers are the most powerful. The reading public of Spain is lim-ited, and the average circulation of a Spanish newspaper is only about 1200copies. In the New World the demand for newspaper literature during the nine-teenth century has proven quite as strong as in the Old World, and, in certainlocalities, even stronger. Even among the youthful and tumultuous repub-lics of South America, with their large percentages of lower classes andilliterates, there are few centres of importance that do not support respect-able and fairly influential journals. The news-gathering and news-consumingspirit may not be so active as elsewhere, nor the commercial sense so acute,yet the century has laid the groundwork of journalistic enterprise so firmlythat future years can afford to build upon it with certainty. The same maybe said of journalism in Mexico and the other Latin republics of NorthAmerica. THE CENTURYS LITERATURE 223. BENJAMIN FIIANKLTN.

The people arereaders and, therefore, generous sup-porters of the enterprises designed tosupply them with their periodical liter-ature. During the century the news-papers and periodicals of Canada in-creased in number from a very few to862, as reported in 1894. Of these. 87are dailies, 583
